Our client is growing year over year, both in revenue and in team size!  Tier4 Group has been retained to help them hire for a Lead/Senior Java Developer.  We're looking for a leader (and not necessarily in official title) who wants to jump in and mentor teams in quality development.  Team members will consist of both mid-level and junior developers or recent grads.  This is a terrific opportunity for growth!

The Senior Java Developer will be leading an innovation project, with many POCs and new product development projects already being scheduled.  Even though our client isn't a start-up, the technology-team operates that way, so we're looking for people who have a start-up mentality, and are willing to grab the horns on any technology opportunity presented.  If this is you, we'd love to chat.  

This position includes a competitive salary, plus bonuses (paid twice a year) and one of the best benefits plans in Atlanta.  Free gym membership + free breakfast/ snacks too!
